I'd like to have a figure that contains within it some text in
two-column mode. I can get individual paragraphs to be one- or
two-columns (via Format -> (paragraph) Number of Columns > 2), but
when I try to have text that wraps (in either 1 or two columns) inside
a figure, it just runs way off the margin.

I don't actually even need to have the text in the figure wrap, since
it will mostly be very short lines -- this is an example in which I am
showing how a few very short lines of program code can be rewritten
into an equivalent form. I want to have a few lines of program text,
then some description, and then some program text. But I'd like to
have this inside a floating numbered figure and have it in two
columns.

I can temporarily put the text into a two-element table and manually
cut-and-paste things that run off the bottom of the 1st column into
the 2nd column, but this is somewhat annoying, and it doesn't seem to
correspond to what I _want_. I don't want two distinct elements in a
table; I want one sequence of lines that is formatted across two
columns.

I searched in the documentation and the mailing list, but kept coming
up with things that covered multi-column tables rather than
multi-column figures.

Thanks for any help anyone can provide,
